When Griffin Bing plans a spooky sleepover he did not know that he could be a millionaire by stumbling over a rare Babe Ruth baseball card. But things take a sharp turn when a mean collector, S. Wendell Palomino, swindles him into thinking that the card is not worth a lot of money and tricks him out of the card. But Griffin is not without reason called “The Man With The Plan”. He will not give up a card worth thousands of dollars without a fight.
At one point in the story Griffin divulges his plan to helpers, not knowing if he can trust them. On page 122 it says: “ Before we go any further … I need your word that what’s said in this room stays in this room. In or out, you can’t tell anyone about this. Ever. This is no kids’ game. There's serious stuff on the line - serious money, but also serious trouble if anything goes wrong. If you think you can’t handle it, there’s the door.”
I think that this takes a lot of courage because with divulging them he is at their mercy.
One book that is similar is Rules by Cynthia Lord. I think these two books share the same style of writing.
I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it is creative, fun, thrilling, exciting, and absorbing.
